Eagles Get Best Possible News On RB Ja'Quinden Jackson After Terrifying Hit Sent Him To Hospital

Philadelphia Eagles running back Ja’Quinden Jackson left the field in an ambulance Saturday night after a scary injury on the opening kickoff against the New England Patriots. Jackson collided headfirst with Patriots returner Lan Larison’s leg during an attempted tackle, and he stayed down for several minutes while medical teams from both sides rushed to assist. A CT scan later returned negative, and the Eagles quickly updated that Jackson had strength and movement in all extremities. He remained alert, traveled to a local hospital for further evaluation, and was released the same night. Jackson’s agent, Damien Butler, said Jackson was doing well and thanked the Eagles’ medical staff and first responders. The 24-year-old, who signed with Philadelphia on August 10, rejoined the team for the return flight to Philadelphia after being medically cleared.
